Yes we finally won a close game. We made winning plays in the final 4:00 of the game and obviously winning plays win games. Lol. And you bet, when I looked at the stats after the game, hell yes Davis is a special player.

Hens find some offense in the second half after scoring only 25 in the first. Davis with a monster game at 29/17. Hens were 19-22 from the line in the second half. These are games they have to win and they did.

Look at how many replies are in the threads after wins and then look how many there are after losses.

Go Hens… bigger one on Saturday

Nice win!

Davis is special and you could see he wanted to ball down the stretch.

I really like Drumgoole starting over Trent. Trent does some nice things but it’s really tough offensively with him and Lane and Ray on the floor at the same time.

Ray does so many little things right.

This team has the pieces and depth to be really good. Just need to be consistent especially on defense.

I really like this team.

Since no one has mentioned this so far, I'll go first. MI did a nice job of coaching last night against a much bigger and stronger physical opponent. Just saying.

The team and coaches did not panic, even though I felt like doing so at one point. LOL

Jyare really willed the team to the win. What a smooth operator he is..... We needed that from him last night.

Reilly had no points, and few shots were able to be taken. SB defended him really well.

Glad to finally see a game in person.

Refs were noticeably poor.

Great effort but this team is going nowhere special without a post player.

Don't worry, when we probably lose on Saturday vs Drexel( who own us almost as much as Hofstra), we will hear from the usual suspects.....And it will be coaching that does us in; their favorite refrain. :wink: :roll: :lol:

Good points and agree. Let's go on a roll. I liked winning a close game very much

This.
Stony was like 9-8 or 8-9 coming into this they aren’t that great. Our lack of big man inside is going to kill us on the boards against good rebounding teams . Bethea curious to see him get more involved he’s out there as a body but it’s going to take time I guess to get him comfortable playing with these guys. Drumgoole also does a nice job for us with Davis when they both have a good game we have hope.

Would be nice if the local community would come out and see Davis play he’s a local
Guy Delaware should promote that more. When Elena was here the place was packed, Davis is a great player I wish the community would come check him out!

There is still some skepticism with this team. We need to demonstrate an ability to be more consistent in order to generate more excitement to get the non-diehards interested. Couldn't help but look at their starting lineup with a 7 footer and 6' 10" forward and wonder how come we can't find more size in the post. Nice comeback win...now is the time to start stringing some wins together. Would be great to knock Drexel off in Philly tomorrow!

This team is indeed resilient, evidenced by their ability to come back in second half of games. Won’t say that this team is a title contender yet. Need more consistency winning in conference for me to believe.
